Review: Formula Belva Dual-Crown Enduro Fork

@hivaru: If there’s something we do well, it’s options. The skill is to offer options that are useful to enough people to make it worthwhile designing, testing, producing, stocking and marketing them. Right now, the straight steerer option doesn’t meet the threshold. That doesn’t mean we’d rule it out though. If enough Belva owners ask for it we’ll look into it. Otherwise the risk is we end up with a product that ties up money, time and R&D opportunities.

No plans as of right now. We'll never say never, though.

Review: Formula Belva Dual-Crown Enduro Fork

@lkubica: The Belva is an alternative to a long travel single-crown enduro fork. The vast majority of these come with a tapered steerer. So, if you're after what the Belva delivers it's a simple swap from one to the other. If we did offer it with a straight steerer for reach adjust headset compatibility (which is pretty niche) we'd have comments that it was just a DH fork. We can't win 'em all. And we're okay with that.

Review: Formula Belva Dual-Crown Enduro Fork

This is something our engineers talk about a lot. It's a balance between giving riders tuning options and making sure they don't get confused and end up with a badly set up fork. The balance is always changing though, which is why we're always talking about it.
